Review Summary

Reviews describe Café DAX as a cozy neighborhood cafe with chill music, excellent coffee and a welcoming vibe where dogs are welcome, the terrace is charming in warm weather, and even wine by the glass is available for those who want something a little different; the menu features comforting dishes like a croissant sandwich and grilled cheese, plus a range of pastries including vegan and gluten-free options, though some note the croissants can be dense; the service is consistently praised for friendliness and attentiveness, with many mentioning a personal touch from the owner and staff who know their products, and a sommelier on site with a strong selection of Canadian roasted beans appealing to casual coffee drinkers and enthusiasts alike; several reviews call it among the best coffee spots in Montreal and a standout in Outremont, and while morning crowds can form lines, the combination of quality and atmosphere makes it worth the wait.

This cafe & the hands on customer oriented owner goes above & beyond for the client! This is my favorite cafe in Montreal. I love the atmosphere, the ambiance & the maple oat milk latte is for me, one & only! I discovered this diamond of a place in the summer of 2024 & I have enjoyed many a good meetings & sit downs here with friends & so much good food from the grilled cheese to the dulce ro leche donut I can't say enough positive things about the epicness of this cafe! Dax cafe is about to expand into frozen ice cream gourmet treats so get ready for that as it's going to be one more addition to this already awesome cafe in the heart of Outremont!! Located on avenue Van Horne & open seven days a week even during holidays !!! I'd encourage you to support this Quebec owned local business that is full of heart & high quality coffee & hot & cold , beverages ( including epic wines!) , artisanal goods & ceramics for sale & an indoor & outdoor atmosphere that is gorgeous! If I could give Dax cafe 10 stars I would as they certainly deserve it! Excellent staff, excellent food & drinks.. it is your go to place! The best kept secret in Montreal is this gem!

Ps they welcome dogs on leashes… my Shiba is always welcome here which is yet another example of why Dax is so great!!! 😃

L'équipe du Dax nous a accompagné dans l'organisation d'un super 5@7! Une excellente expérience: beau choix de vins, petites bouchées & très belle atmosphère. 100% recommandé!

I like the coffee here & find the general set up of the cafe cute but the last two times I went I was kinda confused to see a bunch of wet dogs (it's winter) in this tiny packed space. I personally don't think animals belong where people eat, but I always pick up my order & leave so it's whatever. If you're allergic to dogs you might wanna avoid.

Lovely ambiance, & rare to find a cafe that also serves wine by the glass. Adorable terrace in the summer. Good coffee & probably the best vegan-GF cookie I've ever had in my ENTIRE life. For real. I just wish the cafe opened earlier, like 6:30-7am, so I could have time to grab a coffee on my way to work.

The coffee at DAX is authentic & hits the spot. Very well mannered & welcoming baristas. A great place to catch up with a friend or have a moment to yourself. I love the dax croissant sandwich (must try), the food feels like comfort food & is healthy!

Specialty coffee, expect a coffee that tastes special & not your Starbucks run of the mill coffee. The pastries were great. Long queue in the morning but worth it

Fantastic little spot for good food in a chill atmosphere. Strongly recommend the grilled cheese & the mocha especially, it was the best of all the coffees I'd tried in Outremont.
